Interesting, '94 is one of my favourite years.




What can you recommend me from 1994 then!? I'm interested heh.

If you like metal, I suggest Focus by Cynic and Awake by Dream Theater. If you prefer more traditional prog, I've got nothing.

I'm going to give it to The Colour of Spring by Talk Talk, as I'm not in a metal mood right now. The other options are Somewhere in Time, Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. A helluva metal year it was, 1986.

Just looked at the top 200 albums from 1960 and the only thing that looks remotely interesting to me is the album "Steel Guitar" by Speedy West...I love pedal steel LOL

1989, wow that's a bit of a down year. My usual answer is Dream Theater's debut album. It was the Grateful Dead's last studio release, so I've got a soft spot for that album. Magma's re-release of Mekanik Kommandoh wasn't bad. I'm sure there are others too.

In the end, I'd probably pick Rush's Presto. I've been really enjoying that album lately, and I didn't even realize it was a 1989 release.

I too am rather uninterested in the music of 1960. Basically year 2BB (before Beatles). The Ventures' Walk Don't Run was pretty spiffy though.

I guess you guys aren't into jazz thenWink

1960 had some pretty incredible albums for my tastes:

Miles - Sketches of Spain
Coltrane - Giant Steps
Eric Dolphy - Out There

A lot of albums from that year are on my 'want' list - especially from the jazz department.

Outside of it, there's also the fabulously freaky Stockhausen - KontakteBig smile Music for mice and small entities.

1996...

hmmm....

Nothing?

Edit: Forgot Sing to God was released in 1996. While I enjoy it, it's not really the "best" anything for me, but I guess it will be a placeholder until I find something else.

Well...there were some jazz lps and some decent classical things then but most of it was show tunes and pop people like Doris day or Sinatra......maybe I'll go for whatever Frank had out that year.

People I thought were older are actually younger. People I though were younger are actually older. Plot twists everywhere.

I think my favorite from '96 are "Wilco's "Being There," or Aphex Twin's "Richard D. James Album," but there are plenty of albums I haven't listened to yet that I predict will surpass them.

Nope, not a jazzer...though there was a Buddy Rich/Max Roach album called "Rich vs Roach" that sounds like fun Wink
